SIE is a mysterious mercenary character in the game Alpha Protocol. Little is known about her except the fact that she was a former Stasi agent, taking part in numerous conflicts. SIE was recruited into the East German Intelligence at a young age to be trained as an elite agent. She is the leader of the VCI faction in Moscow and a handler option in the Moscow and Rome hubs, and in the final mission as well.

Not much is known of the operative "SIE" other than her status as an ex-Stasi agent, and a long list of conflicts in which she has been spotted... usually partaking in the action. Records indicate she was recruited into East German Intelligence at a young age and trained to be an elite agent.

SIE's career had barely begun by the time the Stasi was expelled - records indicated that SIE became a freelancer shortly afterwards: the closest the CIA has gotten to acquiring more intelligence was in 1990, after she offered information on Stasi officials for a reported price of $5 million. The Director of the German branch of the CIA was asked to bring her into custody by the head of German Intelligence as a personal favor, but during the attempted apprehension, SIE killed two junior operatives, six German police officers, and wounded ten others.

SIE regularly works for the Egyptian Arms Consortium, the Russian Mafia, Burmese drug lords, the North Korean government, and the Veteran Combat Initiative - data indicates she is currently under contract with the VCI for an undisclosed operation in Moscow.

SIE has a fierce pragmatism, switching between ally and enemy quite quickly when the situation demands it. She doesn't hold grudges, and sees everyone as tools to reaching her objective... her paycheck. It is possible that when a mission is complete and she's been paid, that she might change sides completely if given the right incentive.

Secret Fact: SIE bears no love for Conrad Marburg, despite the fact she works for the VCI. Something that angers one will make the other well-disposed to the person responsible.

It is possible to attack SIE during the mission where you first meet her, even if the player agreed to work with her. Doing so will actually net the player +1 approval if you use an aggressive stance after the fight, or -1 if the player uses a professional stance, although the player can get that +1 or -1, without fighting her by responding to her e-mail after the Investigate Weapon Shipments mission using the aggressive dialogue stance.

The player can save, execute, or abandon SIE if you chose her as your handler (instead of siding with Albatross and G22) for the embassy mission during the assault on Brayko's Mansion. She will be captured and tortured by Konstantin Brayko. If the player chooses to go after her instead of the Halbech data, she will be tied up in a chair cut and beaten. The player can choose to kill her, or free her. If the data was pursued rather than the ally, SIE will die. The choice can be circumvented if playing using the Tech Specialist or the Veteran backgrounds.

The German mercenary with the over-sized gun is helping you on this mission. She can pass on several pointers on handling large hardware, whatever that means.

Neutral to Trusted

Size Matters

SMG and Assault Rifle Recoil Control +1

With SIE assisting you over the earpiece, you're picking up several pointers on how to properly lay down suppressive fire.

Disliked

Never Show Fear to a Cougar

Damage Resistance +5%

There's something about SIE's androgynous voice over your earpiece that makes you less inclined to die - it's probably the fear that if you were wounded on your mission, she'd rescue you and lick your wounds.

Animosity or Hatred

Never Show Fear to a Cougar II

Damage Resistance +10%

Like it or not, you're working with SIE for this mission. At least her annoying accent and awkward innuendos distract you from the pain of injury.

If you successfully romance SIE, she undresses and reveals a red thong matching her bra seen under her revealing shirt.

She is the most overtly flirtatious, suggestive, sexualized character in the game.

It is possible to play through the game and never meet her face to face.

If you decide to attack her, you will get SIE´s kneepad in your safehouse as a trophy.

SIE's name is a german word meaning both "her/she" as well as "they/them." This is likely a minor in-game reference to her personality and her characterization. She's known from the trailers, the cover art, and the concept art as a random woman (she - referring to any woman) who flaunts her sexuality. She also demonstrates considerable, lethal skills that would have many believe her work to be that of multiple people (such as killing the group of Russian mobsters with a barrage of gunfire all on her own when first encountered).

Despite her dossier photo and the icon used for the Savage Love perk/trophy acquired upon romancing SIE, she is never shown smoking a cigarette in-game.
